I need some guidance on getting the Windows boot back up on my HP laptop. I recently tried to install Linux, but things didn't go as planned. I'm a bit worried about my mom's data since I believe it's all stored on the 256GB SSD.... What should I do?

It sounds like your mom's data might still be safe if it's on the SSD, but you definitely want to fix that Windows boot issue first. Have you checked if her files are backed up anywhere? Sometimes, using boot repair tools can help recover Windows without losing any data. It's worth looking into options like the Windows recovery environment or a bootable USB drive that can fix boot issues.

Totally get your concern. If the data's on the SSD, it might be secure as long as you don't change anything else. If you have access to Windows recovery media or a tool that can repair the bootloader, you should be able to get Windows back without affecting the data. Just make sure to follow the steps carefully!
